FEED-BAG.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters retentive. 293,004, dated February 5, i884.

' Application filed November 17, 1883. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMES W. GEDNEY, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Feed-Bags; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying sheets of drawings, making part of This invention is in the nature of an improvement in feed-bags; and the invention consists in a feed-bag constructed and combined in the manner hereinafter shown, described, and claimed.

p In the accompanying sheet of drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in section. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of same.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in the several figures. i

This invention relates particularly to that class of feed-bags commonly known as nose bags, and the object is-toproperly attach metal bottoms to such bags, so that they may be strongly and quickly fixed.

I form the metal bottom A of my feed-bag of basin shape, and at suitable intervals around its upturned flange or side a solder or in some provided with perforations I), corresponding in number to the number of eyes B on the side of the flange. Through these perforations the eyes project. A strip of leather, 0, also'with perforations, is next passed around the eyes, which then protrude throughtheseperforations in the leather strip; or, instead of this leather strip, the lower edge of the canvas bag may be bound with leather and then perforated,a Wire, d, now being passed through each of the several eyes B and its ends twisted or soldered to-' gether. The bottom A is at once secured firm 1y to the canvas of thebag neatly, strongly, and expeditiously. An advantage arising from this construction consists in the fact that when the canvas is worn out and worthless the old bottom can easily be applied to new canvas and the bag be restored to usefulness.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

Afeed-bag with its canvas part provided with perforations, as described, in combination with a metalbottom, A, with eyes B fixed to it, a perforated strip, c, andabinding wire, d, as and for the purpose described.
